ajbookworm 's review for:
The Genesis of Misery
by Neon Yang
The final and most difficult book of my Trans Rights Readathon! This book drops you right into the action of Misery’s life, in a far distant dystopian future, and you have to suspend disbelief to get into the heart of the story. I found myself needing all my concentration to get through this story — the sheer number of pronouns was the first obstacle; but once you get further into the world building, it’s barely background noise. I also couldn’t keep track of the military ranks and church positions, let alone all the bases and constellations and probably some made up words in there too. I still don’t know what a nixen is.
Not a very satisfying ending, for me. But I heard it was based off Joan of Arc, and I don’t know how that story starts or ends either.
